Peashooting baffle rattles

Peashooters and headers have a rough life on the Ozarks Gravel paths, they fracture or get Graveled before they rust out or chrome fads. The baffle tubes break loose at both ends to literally roll around the inside like a pea in a sports whistle. ugh.

Got about 1000 miles quite out of them by putting wood lag bolts in to trap the baffle but threads beat out the thin metal grip and I ran out of bigger and bigger lag bolts so w/o funds used up for rally and wanting to ride w/o annoyance figured nothing for it but put two through bolts in each silencer and hope no one notices the Frankenstein bodge. Some how the drilling job made it extra satisfying repair attempt... with Wes standing on trailer box video in hand...

ugh baffle metal made the bit flair exit hole more than intended, oh well...


What shook out, how did gravel chips and sand get in there???
Oh yeah bullet back scatter, duh.


I was rusty on charging the M1 tanker Garrand because I usually use the bottom fed 30 rd clip .308 driller, like to make holes to mount trailer box the night before rally trip... love the flash suppressor witness marks...

I'm surprised you didn't shoot your eye out.

Steve I was more than happy to help you take them off ,a man from Nova Scotia got real excited when after many rums n' cokes at camp I mentioned there were 2 internally shot but otherwise solid peashooters available at a camp a few feet away so him and a buddy stumbled off to look for em' in the trash can then stumbled over to the scrap metal bins nearby to find 'em. FUN. Now I want you to put them Back on the Bike and see how she runs now ! This from the guy who asked to get arrested n' handcuffed splayed across that vintage police car collectors vehicle. We picked me free a while later with a small allen key and I learned about the bread tie escape trick for the real world. Shoot an eye out. Peter.

Huh!
You lot have all the fun, we are not allowed to play with guns over here. :lol:

My wife inherited a camp on Lake Ontario that we visit once a year, and I brag to my San Diego friends that on my NY property I can shoot my guns naked, and nobody knows. But I'll tell you, it's humid there, and my Commando couldn't wait to get back to California and have the surface rust rub out.

Torontonian, you define a new variety of wild man to me, glad to meet ya but i learned about your kind on Leave It To Beaver's Eddie Haskel as a bad influence I'm too susceptible too : )



Ah the rural luxury to just step outside to relieve oneself while watching the start and lightening bugs or let loose some gun power and no one cares as long as ya don't annoy them all night long. Its understood here a kapow in the night is psty of being a farmer with varmits to control out here. I got sling shot and bb gun early on and did indeed about shot my eye out but mere bb guns were nothing compared to big rocks, real spears and bow/arrows we had whole neighborhood battles with that spilt blood and broke bones but no major named organs lost. I've got stories that'd make Spanky and the Gang shudder, especially when we got pump up rifles that could shoot thru 9-nine old real man to crush steel beer cans or 1/2" marine grade ply wood. M80's wrapped in sun hardened playdough with glass and rock and screws etc in the mix and far prjectable by serious sling shot. Hehe one battle a fella use a 4 ft dia drain curvert to fire from then duck back, hehe we lobed playdough gernade in that landed behind him, KaBOOM it blew out 6 ft dia perfect smoke rings and either end and then a scream then with us all at cease fire suspense he eventually stagger out and wobbled away from the battle. That left the ones we'd trapped up a tree fort we'd shoot through the wood side - over their heads, hehe, with wood splinter that close the begging was enough to bring us to tears if laughter before we let em down from across a canal.

I get called out a couple times a day for 20 mile run to office so itching to do it on a Combat that don't rattle, so will see if 2 bolts through p-shooters will work as hoped. Are we having some fun yet before we go?

The only thing missing is "hold my beer and watch this"

You know you're a redneck if...

My S.O. Alicia just red this over my shoulder and laughed out loud how true it is, just I don't need no stinking beer, ugh. I've found factory Combats ain't up to my antics so I've bastardized Ms Peel to both leap and land and crash w/o much injury she's also to be video and gun platform for knee slapping till tears antics of deer hides stung with paint balls and falling all over themselves by some LOUD siren.

I have been shooting branches down out of view of creek from house with 12 ga to see 3 deer just staring at me so close I could hit em easy with a rock, so shot 3 ft in front them into the snow and all they did way inch forward to sniff the splashes, sheeze.

I'll try the silencer repair tonight but have to tie up side stand as Trixie lost her 2nd spring in as many trailer unloads, so another project is undo the slapped together wood on my newly accquired used 4x7 trailer, so ramp sits lower and clears bikes. Got car air shocks now too but may also try deflating trailer tires so a skinny fella can handle em alone, like when wife instead of Wes comes to rescue.

Oh yeah Peel should also get a flamethrower Dunstall, already got the stun gun guts for sparker tested off the unused Norton button. Mechanics are fun but only so much so lets ride our lives away leaving flaming trails into the sunset.

I going to have to call P.E.T.A on ya (Peashooter Ethical Treatment Association)

Hehe, gotta catch me first.

Ugly and crude but functional hillbilly fixed silencers again. Rain drops on 1st shot.

I think I will stick with a drill press, easier to control hole size :wink:

Yes, *maybe*, if looks or 'accuracy' really mattered at this point. The under sides of both are scratched/rusted when seen from more a side than top view. The real drilling issue is to trap the baffle tubes in one orientation for each hole. Rife shot tends to bounce it around like the exhaust pluses, but this hayseed's expanding skewed funnel holes allowed me some fudging shoving room to run em through and create a bind, that perfectly straight even holes might not > a bit down the road. A swift kick does not ring or rattle now thank you. Deer won't know I'm sneaking up on em now.

I do admit that a drill press would not be the weapon of choice to hunt deer unless it was dropped on the deer from a treetop, but for motorcycles, if *I* was given the choice...

Jean

How does it go........" Necessity is the mother of invention. "
There is hope for me yet Hobot, I thought about doing that to my Amals the other day.
hehehe.
Hey, Be carefull out there.
AC.

Yeah man Aussie, are we having any fun yet. Pack to an out back farm and explain the drilling requested then stand back or take part and you'll never forget it till ya die.

Btw I never ever eat what I shoot with bullet or helmet...
I could dodge this hanger but so did oncoming at me, so it had to go.


Here's more to keep the feeling going on sucking some fun out of chores...
Dang old paper shells using up were swollen distorted to delay my actions...

:lol: :lol: :lol: No wonder I don't have any room in my garage stuffed with all those tools like a drill press and a chain saw when the both could be replaced with a rifle :!:

Jean

PS If you have more examples of the multiple uses of a gun, please post them, but be aware they could be used against you in a sanity hearing :lol:

Shouldn't you be wearing some buckskin and a coon cap there Hobot?

Hehe, as a child Daniel Boone and Davy Crocket were American hero and I had a coon skin with tail cap and fake buckskins. Now I'm grown up so its more overalls, boots and a cap and a grass straw out side of mouth.

I'm newish to video camera so don't have much of pellet projecting took use. To dig a hole here is miserable to get though roots or a rock, so I don't sweat it no more, just get out the correct caliber bit and bing bang boom, its cut or broke up to keep on digging for posts or water line. I've a power station in Norton shed, at first with 12 hp diesel so needed hole in shed tin wall for fuel and coolant lines. Ugh how to make a hole easy w/o ragged edges to bare on hoses, VOLIA, riot gun and 00 buck shoot from ~6 ft away to get sweetest instant flared smooth portal. I checked the exit trajectory first.

I've a hot rod van that could flat leave a Combat in the dust. its got a sink and ice box I needed 1/2" and 3/4" holes, thru carpet, foam padding, felt pad and 1/2" plywood, 1.5" urothane foam and van sheet metal, w/o a big enough drill and need to use soon, so scratched my end, then AHA, .45 cal ball and a round a fella had glued a primer into a hollow point, put 2 layers of 3/4" dense marine grade plywood under on drive way in dense residential area, closed up van, put on ear muffs, reached inside of cabinet, lined up and shoot a flaired smooth 1/2" hole and then the bigger hole with power expanding front, perfect. I checked the back up wood to find a quarter size hole thru it and almost thru bottom piece, the round had cut a disc of the van metal and pushed it ahead of bullet which ended up about pancake shaped. Opened doors to let smoke out and put hose in slick and can be and didn't leak at the passage either.

Every now and then when Wesley comes over I hand him a .308 and we both blast out a rock knob that bumps cars or cycles. It'd take military scale stuff to smooth poor Wes's creek bed like steep drive.

Had a old methane heavy steel 3" pipe exposed in low spot of pasture and in drive way dip, a hazard for hay tractors and cycles, so put off and put off torching up off or sawing it, till got out the powder driller... which also under cut the ground to push ends down and bury them...
